Hello, Ladies and Gents.

Hello, I would not consider myself a noob, but I am not very proficient with hacking my brother's wii for him. It is a black wii version 4.3U. I have actually downloaded the homebrew channel previously using the letter bomb method. I deleted the channel because it wasn't working right. Well, I tried again and I get the "Exception (DSI) occurred!" error whenever I try to Install Hombrew Channel. So I figured I could try something else. Low and behold my brother has Lego Batman (he has kids). So this time I use the ModMii app thing. ... Same error comes up. I have however noticed a difference between the video they show me and what my system is doing.
My system says:
BootMii: Can only be installed as an IOS
The installed boot1 version prevents a boot2 install (-2)
rather than
BootMii: Can be installed.

I have no idea what I am doing at this point. Please help if you can.

But enough about that. Back to the important stuff. I like long walks in the mountains, killing dragons, and hand-crafting my own armor and weapons. Floating square brick boxes excite me. I really want Harry Dresden's trench coat. And Luffy is my personal role model. Although, Sanji's chivalry matches my tastes more.
